Annemarie and her best friend, Ellen, live in Denmark which is becoming filled with Nazi soldiers. Ellen is Jewish which is inhibiting her safety while living at home. This story tells the remarkable journey and strength the two girls share throughout their escape up north to Annemarie's uncle's house, and all the uncertainty that unfolds. When the book concludes two years later when World War II is ending, Annemarie notes she has Ellen's star of David necklace waiting for her.
